The photo is pretty good. Helps when you have a nice subject? XD
Engagement is bloody hard work and a timesink, can understand why people don't do it even though they really should. I've spent a good chunk of the day here commenting on just my feed and haven't even expanded out to my favoured tags yet (where it's more the same people again that I generally monitor through tags rather than watching). Does that count as circle jerking? I'm supposed to be reaching out further looking for more and more and more new people? When does it end? At some point I need to actually work so I have stuff to post XD
I'm a bad person and haven't looked at the introduceyourself tag forever and will probably continue not doing so for the foreseeable future x_x
I think I wrote somewhere that a person can only do what they can from a time perspective. I mean we all have lives in the real world too right? You do what you can and that's it, no need to feel like it's got to be justified. I think reaching out to new people will have some value...I remember what it was like when I was new...Not many reached out really, @sirknight did though and he stuck with me for ages. A few others. But I got out there, commented, on posts, kept commenting and built that way.
For a new person wanting to build (I know you don't, nor are you new) I think it is critical to get noticed. I pass over hundreds of posts a day whilst curating and don't even click in for a look...Someone comments on one of my posts and I go check them our right away, often even before I reply back.
It's a proven method of doing it, and people like us need to make sure new people are aware, and welcome to drop in and comment.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Yeah, a good subject helps which is why I'm rarely in front of the camera.
And still with you in spirit @galenkp. ; )
Oh hey mate! Good to hear from you.
Look at me huh? three years in 30 days time and still banging out a couple posts a day...You'd think a bloke would have nothing left to say but...Still do! Lol.
I hope you're all well and the current shenanigans over the flu are not impacting you too much.
